  "account": "Severe flooding has devastated towns in Syabrubesi and Timure, Rasuwa, Nepal, according to dramatic videos shared online. Muddy water swept through streets, damaged infrastructure and filled the valley with dust. The flood entered the country from Tibet around 9 AM and is believed to have been triggered by a glacial lake outburst, rather than local rainfall. The disaster has caused widespread destruction, including the collapse of bridges and damage to several hydropower plants. Power supplies have been disrupted, and downstream districts have been warned.\n\nSocial media users have expressed shock and distress at the dramatic footage, with some pointing fingers at China's dam releases near the Indo-Nepal border. Others have called for immediate action to improve early warning systems and disaster preparedness in the region. The flood has highlighted the terrifying power of nature in the Himalayan belt, underscoring the urgent need for better emergency measures.",
